Time for some FOMO to kick in?  With these images, are you trying to suggest that BTC is grandpa coin? Your little diggs on bitcoin and your ongoing disgruntledness remains somewhat subliminal, no? We have had 48k micros, 56k modems and you didn't get that these are 64k micros?  Ok. I apologize for jumping the gun, reading evil intentions into your actions and presuming that I was being brain washed, when I wasn't.  Eagerly looking forward to posting pictures of The Commodore 128 ! |

The recommended mining configuration is completely absurd:
(from mining-hardware-config-testnet-v3.pdf)
2x Epyc 7402 ($2k each)
1x Epyc 7F32 $2k
1TB DRAM $4k
8x 2TB SSD $3k
3x Quadro RTX 6000 $5k each
I think I'll pass on this one....

No blocks for over an hour now, hmm....

Even full nodes face the first question. I configure my full node with 60 connections (enough more than the default of only 8?) and just hope the builders of the software did a good job and that the network hasn't partitioned me away from the good ones. I do manually compare to various public sources of the blockchain, e.g. blockchain.info, etc., and hope they aren't compromised.
.....
It seems like not such a good idea to have so many outgoing connections, as it's using up the scarce resource of 'full nodes with non-firewalled open incoming ports'. You may instead want to force the default amount of 8 connections to nodes with operators you trust and allow as many incoming connections to your machine as it can handle without causing high relaying delays. I believe there are a few folks who are attempting to identify those that are connecting to unusually large amounts nodes, as such a technique can be used to discover the origin of transactions. There are some remaining fragments of a sanitized thread about this here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=978088.0 |

.........
My statement in that gedanken experiment is that your 100 000 nodes will not get one single block, and will certainly not enforce their rules on the network. As such, they have no power to do so.
.........
Of course full nodes that don't mine will never get a block. 'Good' non-mining full nodes could enforce the rules, though, but only if it somehow happens that at least one 'good' node is between every conspiring 'evil' mining node so they would not be able to propigate blocks to eachother. Last I saw (which was a while ago), the large pools have a special semi-private "relay network" for their mining full nodes they use, and they could always directly connect to eachother. Users that actually want to get their transaction into a block (since non-mining full nodes don't make blocks) would have to connect to an evil node. There's also nothing stopping the 'evil' guys from popping 100 000 non-mining evil nodes on the network to make it easier for users to connect to the evil-net. |

The bot seems to be working now.

Is the transition bot still down? I tried the precompiled livenet wallets on windows and linux and all that happens when clicking on the link at byteball.org is the wallet pops up with a window with a prompt "Text message to New:" ....

NW.js is an insane dependency, building it from source requires 20GB of disk space and several hours of time. I guess this is the way of "modern, user-friendly" software these days. The precompiled binaries are 160 megs. UGH.

For example will there ever be a mobile device app for zcash given the amount of resources it takes to create and broadcast a private transaction? I would imagine a remote server building the transaction for you would be out of the question as I should think it would require access to the private components sending the zero knowledge aspect out the window.
I'm using a 4GB core i5 lenovo running ubuntu which I (used to) consider rather high end. 48% of my memory is currently allocated so from what I just read I can't use zcash because I don't have enough RAM, is that right?
Just make sure you configure enough swap space, as mentioned in your quote. If you don't have an SSD, it could be as much as 20X slower than the time mentioned for an SSD. Maybe they could optimize the memory access to account for swap usage which could get it down to 5X slower. I think on a phone with 2GB of RAM the case would be much worse; if the swap is placed on a cheap SD card a transaction could take days to create. |

I was waiting for the launch time to be announced in the OP, but it's still saying it's not launched yet. I should have been refreshing github rather than bitcointalk, apparently.

just update python to 3.5-3.6.
I'm python-clueless. Thanks it worked! 41-47H/s on a 290 -- the standard version was only getting 36-42. |

I got an error with this fork: Stratum: invalid msg from server: type object 'bytes' has no attibute 'hex': {'result': True, 'id': 2, 'error': None} The normal v3 works fine. Maybe try to re base your fork off the latest mbevand? He has removed the libsodium dependency too. |

Any one here to mine zcash as solo ? Tell me if it is possible to mine.
I saw some sold their coin @1000btc per coin and made enough fortune. Who was those guys ? And how they managed to get coins if there were no initial supply and there were delay in every pool's payment. Were they any solo miner ?
I put 10h/sec on it starting around block 200 just for fun, but no luck. |

I've heard about those locked boot loaders. One should avoid buying such devices, but I think it must be possible to hack them open. I don't think there is any legal procedure that can be used against you for REMOVING software or firmware from a device ; and if so, it would be the OEM that would have a strange hardware selling licence. I've never had an intel machine on which I couldn't remove windows entirely (that's usually the first thing I do with a new computer). It is true that UEFI is a pain, but I thought even (though I never bothered) that there are laws in some countries that force microsoft to pay back the windows license if you ask to remove it.
There could be manufacturers that lock down windows in the UEFI. Then one mustn't buy stuff from them. They can make life technically difficult, but I don't see how you could be legally annoyed by doing away with software.
I'm not sure if removing UEFI locks is prohibited by law, but it seems to be prohibited by technical measures on newer processors from both AMD and Intel: https://libreboot.org/faq/#intelmehttps://libreboot.org/faq/#amd |

I grabbed the latest source and compiled the daemon for both linux and windows, and both ran into a problem when syncing. At block 234, Connectblock fails with inputs missing/spent with the block #235 hash that ends with c530b4d5. Anyone else run into this problem?

I made a build of the daemon last year on my w7-64 bit machine with msys2, and it worked fine for a few months. I recently rebuilt it with gcc5.2, db-4.8.30, openssl101p, boost 1.59, and gmp6 (not using miniupnpc or qrencode) and it seems to be working fine now for the past week. I do full static linking and everything is custom built, so it's not really a reproducable environment, but at least I did not have to make any changes to the source.

For this new system, 10k coins seems like quite a lot -- I was expecting maybe 5k at the most! Others may have thought the same thing; going to have to do battle on the exchanges now while the price is rising.

It's hard to believe that there are still people browsing the web without ad blockers. Hopefully (for those who are crazy enough to try making a living from non-tangible goods) web advertising will become unprofitable around the time a currency will become popular for micropayments.

It's too bad you guys switched to google's V8 engine. It adds 300 megabytes of dependencies and bumps up the build difficulty by 2 orders of magnitude.

It's pretty amazing to me that anyone can stand browsing this forum without turning signature display off.
